Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system and it actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each
wheel, based on road conditions and
driving st yle. This reduces body
movement and therefore increases
comfort in all four seats.

How does PASM work? By means of a
but ton on the centre console, you can
select one of the three modes: Comfort,
SPORT or SPORT PLUS. Sensors record
the body movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking and

rapid cornering or uneven road surfaces.
The control unit evaluates the driving
conditions and modifies the damping
force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode. You
can feel the result: increased driving
stability, more comfort and improved
performance.
Optional for the Panamera and
Panamera 4, standard in all other models.

Adaptive air suspension.
Adaptive air suspension enhances both
driving dynamics and comfort at the
same time. It comprises a levelling
system, a manual lift function, ride-height
adjustment capability and the ability to
vary the spring rate.

The purpose of the levelling system is
to keep the vehicle level constant auto -
matically, regardless of load distribution.
For manoeuvring, the manual lift function
enables you to raise the vehicle body
by 20 mm to avoid the risk of grounding. When you select the SPORT PLUS
chassis programme, the ride height
drops to Low Level (–
25 mm, or – 15 mm
in the Panamera GTS). At the same time,
a harder spring rate is achieved through
a reduction in the amount of air stored in
the air suspension. In simple terms, it’s
a sports chassis at the push of a but ton.
Standard for the Panamera S E-Hybrid,
Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo,
optional for the other models.
Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
The Panamera and Panamera 4 are
fit ted as standard with 18-inch Panamera
wheels, the Panamera S, 4S and
Panamera S E-Hybrid with 18-inch
Panamera S wheels. The wheels on all
models are light weight alloys featuring
a classic sport y design. Tyre sizes
245/50 ZR 18 and 275/45 ZR 18 are
fit ted to the front and rear, respectively.
The Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo
are equipped with 19-inch Panamera
Turbo II wheels as standard. The t yre
sizes are 255/45 ZR 19 at the front, 285/40 ZR 19 at the rear. A range of
optional 19- and 20 -inch wheels is

also available (p. 128/129). In addition,
all-season tyres are optionally available
for all 19- and 20 -inch wheels.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) sends
warnings to the on-board computer’s
display screen in the event of excessive
pressure loss.

TPM is standard in the Panamera models
(optional for Panamera and Panamera 4).19 - inch Panamera Turbo ll wheel

SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton, which is fit ted as
standard, enables you to select a setup
that favours either comfort or sport y
performance. At the push of a but ton,
the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer a sharper response and engine
dynamics that are more direct.

With the gearbox in automatic mode,
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts are swifter. In
addition, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) also
switch to SPORT mode to deliver harder
damping and more direct steering and,
therefore, even more agile cornering.

Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package helps to
provide an even sportier setup. Included
in the package are a digital and analogue
stopwatch, the SPORT PLUS button,
the longitudinal and lateral acceleration
display and a performance display in
PCM for displaying lap times.
It used to be the timetable that decided the sports period.
Now it’s your turn.

Performance enhancement systems.
The SPORT PLUS but ton on the centre
console is used to activate SPORT PLUS
mode. The engine becomes even more
responsive. The rev- limiter is adjusted to
a harder set ting (except in the Panamera S
E- Hybrid). Vehicles with Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) switch
to SPORT PLUS mode for harder damping
and more direct steering. Models with
adaptive air suspension drop to ‘low level’
and switch to a stiffer spring rate. In
SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger threshold
for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The stopwatch mounted on the dashboard
displays recorded driving time or can be
used as a conventional clock. Porsche
Communication Management (PCM) has

a special performance display to view,
store and evaluate lap times or other
driving times.

When combined with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional
functions: the shift times in SPORT PLUS
mode become even shorter, the gear
changes even sportier. The second
function is Launch Control, designed to produce optimum acceleration from a
standing start.


For the Panamera Turbo, increased power
output is a mat ter of principle. In this
model, the Sport Chrono Package takes
performance to another level with the
overboost function. Whenever you
accelerate at full throt tle in SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode, boost pressure will
be temporarily increased by up to 10 %.
This significantly increases the maximum
torque, delivers a short-term complacent
700 to 770 Nm – and puts a smile on
the driver’s face. Standard in Panamera GTS, optional for
the other Panamera models and only in
conjunction with Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).

LED main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus).
A new development is available on
request for every Panamera model: LED
main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
The inner workings of each headlight
comprise t wo light units in a stepped
arrangement – a design feature that
reinforces the imposing appearance of
the new Panamera models.

The LED beam is remarkably powerful
and provides excellent illumination of the
road. Thanks to the optimum balance bet ween short and long distance lighting
with side illumination, the similarity in
colour with the day time running lights
and low light scat ter, the driver’s eyes
tire less quickly than with other systems.


The Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus) has been combined with the
LED main headlights. Not only does PDLS
Plus offer all the functions of PDLS,
it also features a dynamic main beam
and an intersection assistant function.

The dynamic main beam is activated
from a speed of 65 km/ h and detects
vehicles driving in front as well as oncoming traffic. The intensity and

range of the light cone can therefore
be adapted to the prevailing situation.
With the intersection assistant function,
intersections and T junctions are
recognised based on the navigation data
of PCM. For optimum illumination of
intersections, the system automatically
switches on the left and right cornering
lights. At a T junction, only the static
cornering light on the same side as the
emerging traffic is switched on.

Sometimes even short distances mean major progress.
Brakes.
The Panamera models have a braking
system equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston units at the rear. The
brake calipers on the Panamera and
Panamera 4 are finished in black; on the
Panamera S models, they are silver-
coloured; on the Panamera S E-Hybrid
they are Acid Green, and on the Panamera
GTS and Panamera Turbo they are red.

The brake discs are slot ted and internally
vented for enhanced braking performance
– even under extreme conditions – and
rapid heat dispersal. The brake discs on
the Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS
have a diameter of 390 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear, whilst on the
other Panamera models the discs are
360 mm in diameter at the front and
330 mm at the rear.


The electric parking brake, which you can
activate and deactivate manually, releases
automatically as you pull away. Thanks
to the hold function, you can pull away
without ever rolling back.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
On request, your Panamera can be fit ted
with a braking system that has proven
itself on the race track: the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The
cross-drilled ceramic brake discs on the
Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS have
a diameter of 410 mm at the front and
350 mm at the rear; the other models
feature discs with a diameter of 390 and
350 mm at the front and rear, respectively.


PCCB is characterised by its low thermal
expansion under heavy braking, which
helps to prevent deformation. Furthermore,
the ceramic brake discs are totally
resistant to corrosion and of fer bet ter
noise-damping properties.


The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the brake discs,
which are approximately 50 % lighter
than standard discs of similar design and
size. Although enhanced performance and fuel economy are very noticeable
benefits: above all, it represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating
masses. That means better handling,
bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads.

Optional for the Panamera Turbo and
Panamera GTS in conjunction with 20-inch
wheels; for other Panamera models, only
compatible with 19-inch wheels or larger.

Environmental protection.
Electromobilit y is the topic of the day.
After all, we are all searching for answers
to one of the greatest challenges of our
time: how to conserve resources. How
can we reduce energy requirements and
CO
2 emissions? Our answer is e-mobilit y.
In other words, sustainable mobility.
Our solution is the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
Here, we substitute oil for regenerative
electricity and combine high perfor m-
ance with excellent everyday prac ticality.
As a result, the new Panamera S E-Hybrid
ranks first in its vehicle class in
terms of
fuel economy and CO
2 emissions.
With hybrid technology, we are exploring
new directions without losing sight of
familiar ground: Porsche has managed to
reduce fuel consumption across all
current model ranges by a double-digit
percentage compared with the respec
tive
previous model. This is made possible
by an efficient drive concept, lightweight
construction, optimised aerodynamics
and low rolling resistance.

Vehicles manufactured by Porsche prove
that even high-performance sports cars
can achieve comparatively moderate exhaust emission values in their respec tive
category. This high level of environ mental
responsibilit y is clearly demon
strated
by our approach to environmental
management at the Porsche Development
Centre in Weissach. Here, all techno lo-
gical developments are carried out with
environmental protection in mind.

Lightweight construction and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction has
been integral to the Porsche identit y since
the very beginning. For both economical
and ecological reasons. This forms the
basis for low fuel consumption values in
conjunction with outstanding perform ance.

It is economical thanks to the high pro -
portion of aluminium, plastics and super-
high-strength sheet steel used. This is
substantially more stable and lighter than
conventional steel. It is also ecological because all materials used are
meticulously selected. We use only
innovative and environmentally friendly
components. All lightweight materials

are easily recyclable and each material
is labelled to facilitate its separation for
recycling. The reduction in the number
of plastic variants helps to ensure more
ef ficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements. As a result,
the Panamera models are around 95 %
recyclable.
There is only one place we like to leave a lasting mark:
in a person’s heart.

Porsche and the environment.

Your first impression of the Panamera
interior is the generous amount of comfort.
The second impression is one of sport y
lightness and excellent ergonomics. The
five round instruments have an integrated
4.8-inch colour screen. The centre console
ascends towards the front, shortening the
reach bet ween the steering wheel and the
gear selector. All the important controls
are arranged into logical groups to give
you quick access to important functions
without the need to browse through long
sub-menus.Smooth-finish leather, natural leather,
two-tone colour combinations, elegant
woods, aluminium and carbon – thanks
to these and many more personalisation
options, you can make your Panamera
even more sport y or even more
comfortable. Or both. In the Panamera
Turbo and Panamera GTS, the rooflining

is upholstered in Alcantara as standard
(optional for all other models). For
more detailed information about colours
and personalisation, please refer to
page 110 onwards.


There’s still nothing quite like being surrounded by your own four walls.
Even when you’re on the move.
Interior.
The Panamera models offer a variet y of
storage options, for example in the doors
and centre console. There is a cupholder
in the front centre armrest and t wo
cupholders in the rear compartment. On
request at no extra charge, it is possible
to have a further t wo fold- out cupholders
fitted above the glove compartment.

For extra storage space, a large centre
console is available as an option for
the rear compartment. It comes with a
230 -volt socket, an additional 12-volt
socket and preparation for a cooling compartment. The interior lighting
concept with switch- off delay is practical
and appealing. This includes illuminated
door handles and storage compartments
in the front, orientation lights, front
foot well lights and also reading lights
and interior lights – one of each for all
four seats.
